Chapter 576: Vortex (Part 2)

Forbidden City, outside Xihua Gate.

"Furuo!" The guard looked at the visitor, with more joy on his face, waved his arms and greeted.

The visitor was Cao Yong who was handing the sign here. When he heard a voice to greet him, he looked up and found that he was a former colleague.

It turned out that this guard was Idushan, a colleague of Dethenash when Cao Yong was on duty for the first time.

Although Cao Yong didn't stay in the outside class for long before he was transferred to the inner class, he had many contacts with colleagues here because of his good relationship with Detek.

Yidushan's old surname is Irgen Jueluo, and he is Yiduli's cousin and Jinghui's uncle. He is also the in-laws of the Cao family.

Six years ago, he was a third-class guard and was promoted to second-class a few years ago.

He was a few years older than Idoli, with a beard, burly and tall, with a warrior-like appearance.

"Brother Bo'an, is this... on duty?" Cao Yong glanced at him, wearing a martened jacket and a court bead, but his waist sign changed to the guard's sign and smiled: "Brother Bo'an is promoted, it's a joyful congratulations. I have just returned to Beijing. There is no news. The guys will have a good meal another day."

Idushan waved his hand and said, "There is nothing to congratulate, it's just hard work... I was also the one who entered the palace at that age of Furuo. It's been more than twenty years since then. My former colleagues were all outside for the governor and the admiral, but I've just gotten up to the top, and it's again..."

He originally wanted to take on this unlucky errand guarding Xianning Palace again, but he looked at the guard on duty next to him and swallowed the words he said.

Cao Yong had already taken out his sleeve and asked him to see the letter and handed it to the guards of Xihuamen, asking him to ask someone to send it to Qianqing Palace.

Yiduli poked his head out and looked into the distance, but the figure of the imperial physician was not seen for a long time.

He looked at Cao Yong, hesitated for a moment, and wanted to ask Cao Yong to urge him, but he was embarrassed to speak.

As he was thinking, Yidushan heard footsteps and turned around, but Emperor Changsun Hongxi walked over with a sad face.

Although the second prince was deposed, Kangxi took some care of the two older grandsons who were born to his legitimate son.

Needless to say, Hongxi had long been enthroned. He lives in the prince's office and has not yet left the palace to open a mansion.

Hongxi's half-brother Hongjin also lives in the prince's house. He has already married a child and is over 20 this year. Because of his father's implication, he has not formally requested a title, but the corresponding supply is based on the treatment of the Duke of Fengen.

You know, the legitimate son born to the eldest prince is still twenty years old this year, but he has been in the royal palace with his father for seven or eight years. Not to mention the treatment of the auxiliary prince, he does not even have the treatment of the idle royal family.

Compared with the two, there is a world of difference. No one can blame others. If you think the Sacred Heart is still in the second prince's lineage.

Both emperor grandsons have become adults one after another. It is not impossible for Kangxi to imitate the old story of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty and abandon his son and establish grandsons.

"Sir Yi, what's wrong with my mother? What do I say about the Imperial Doctor?" Hong Xi left the palace after leaving the palace and came back. After getting the news that his mother was sick, he hurried over.

However, due to the rules, it was impossible to visit Xianning Palace. Hearing that the guard leader Yidushan was at Xihuamen, Hongxi rushed over to inquire about the details.

When Yidushan saw Hongxi, he felt relieved and bowed, "The second master is here just right. Let me go to the Imperial Hospital to urge me. It's been more than two hours since I have not seen the Imperial Doctor come."

Hongxi had already seen Cao Yong, but was slightly stunned.

The two of them were born in the same year and month. They studied in Shangshu's room in their early years, but they had no friendship at all.

One is the emperor's eldest grandson, and the other is the inferior son of Baoyi.

In Hongxi's eyes, Cao Yongyuan was just a thing like a thing, so he couldn't stand him for the limelight, and the emperor favored him.

Back then, it was just a prank, and he wanted to tease Cao Yong, but unexpectedly he was scolded by Kangxi. From then on, Hongxi became afraid of Cao Yong.

Before, Hongxi only thought that the reason why raising grace is greater than raising grace, which made Huang Mafa treat the Cao family very well. He treated Baoyi's son like a nephew.

In the past six months, the empress dowager has rewarded Cao Yong's mother several times, causing all kinds of speculations to fly all over the sky.

Even Hongxi's side thought he had figured out the reason why he went to Kangxi to take care of the Cao family. The news he could find was limited, and after searching, it was just a conclusion with Chuyu, who thought that Li was the illegitimate daughter of the eldest princess and the grandfather's cousin.

This seems to explain why the Cao family is so favored, and the children born by Li have become relatives of the royal family.

The ups and downs of the past few years have made Hongxi fully gain a sharp edge and become restrained.

After being slightly stunned, he smiled and said, "Cao Yong is back, but you have made great contributions this time. Speaking of which, as the grandson of Emperor Mafa, I should also say thank you..."

This is not a lie. When Hongxi heard that the Junggar people had falsely surrendered and assassinated, he was shocked and sweated.

Although he didn't have to be surrounded like his father, he had no errands and no man to use. If it were the Holy Lord... he wouldn't be the opponent of those uncles at all...

Although the Eighth Prince was scolded and was heard of money and food, the old ministers in the court are still the "the most virtuous of the eight kings today."

The prince in Beijing also has the hope of inheriting the throne.

The 14th Prince's biological mother, Concubine De and Concubine Yi, were in charge of palace affairs and could speak well in the palace garden.

Among the princes who left the capital, the third prince and the fourth prince have been in charge of the department for many years and have some foundation. If those two people get the news and rush back to the capital, they will have the power to fight.

No matter how he calculated, there was no Hongxi's business. Naturally, he hoped that his grandfather could last for another three or five years and wait until he had some foundation before making room.

In Cao Yong's heart, he was afraid of this eldest grandson and wanted to avoid it.

When I met today, I had to socialize, so Cao Yong had to follow the rules and obeyed the etiquette.

Hongxi sighed and said, "Uncle Sixteenth lost his legitimate son last month. Although he received the news and returned to Beijing from Rehe, he still didn't like it and was very sad. I went over and had two drinks with him. Uncle Sixteenth always mentioned you. He also said that there was a monk in your family who was proficient in Buddhism and wanted to invite him to do rituals for the young prince. Later, when Aunt Sixteenth was in bed, Uncle Sixteenth was busy with this, so he didn't mention it again."

Before Cao Yong came, he had heard Chu Yu mention this matter.

On the ninth day of last month, the sixteenth prince, the concubine Guo Luoluo, gave birth to a legitimate son, but he did not stop and died less than half a month after he was born.

As early as three years ago, the Sixteenth Concubine died of a legitimate son.

It is really pitiful that I finally calmed down the pain of losing my son, but I caught up with this kind of thing.

Cao Yong had a guard waist sign on his body, so he could go to the prince's office from Donghuamen.

Today, because I had to follow the rules and hand over the sign to Kangxi, I did not go to the residence of the Sixteenth Prince first.

When Cao Yong heard Hongxi mention this matter in a daze, he was both sighing and awakening.

There will be a "disobedience case" in the future. The Sixteenth Prince cannot be too close to him, so as not to be implicated.

At the age of time, an eunuch had already come to pass on the message, and he passed the oral order from Kangxi to order Cao Yong to meet the emperor in the Qing Palace.

Cao Yong and Hongxi and Yidushan farewell, and followed the eunuch to the Ganqing Palace.

However, Hongxi's mind has been turning several times, and he has understood it over the years.

Before reaching that position, all honors and status came from the gift of Emperor Mafa.

Although her father was confused and improper, he was deceived by villains and lost his holy heart, his mother, Guarja, was a famous daughter who was always praised by the holy family.

Even if I accept this life of being encircled with my husband, Guarja still cannot say anything bad.

Before the "second deposed prince", in order to enhance his eldest son, the second prince specially made him recognize Guarja and acted as the eldest son.

This recognition made Hongxi the legitimate grandson of the "righteous" emperor.

His status became noble and he became the first emperor's grandson.

Even if the second prince was abolished, in the eyes of Confucian orthodox, Hongxi was more qualified to ascend to the throne than other concubines. This is the benefit of occupying the word "子".

While he took the people to the Imperial Hospital, he was secretly muttering in his heart, why isn’t the one who is sick?

If my father is sick, it may cause the emperor's memory, but it is a good thing; if his mother, Guarja, dies, then Hongxi will not be able to borrow the clan power behind him...

Ganqing Palace, Xihunting Pavilion.

Kangxi looked at Cao Yong, his originally serious face softened, and asked with some concern: "How is your injury? Don't be too tired after running all the way."

Although the posture he is now as warm as his relatives, Cao Yong can't feel warm in his heart.

It's really hypocritical. Why don't I say so embarrassed? It's not the emperor's "golden finger". I found out where there is gold.

Cao Yong lowered his head and listened, his face was filled with obedience.

Kangxi hesitated for a moment, looked at Cao Yong and said, "You have arrived in Beijing for the first time today, and it will take several more days to take care of it. It will be considered appropriate if you see it is fine.

Cao Yong listened beside him, thinking in his heart whether he should "replenish" more easily.

After Kangxi Nian finished speaking, he saw that Cao Yong just nodded frequently, but he felt a little depressed.

"In this way, you will take a few more days off and report to the Office of the Interior after entering November." Kangxi thought for a while and said.

It's twenty-five today, and I'll be able to rest for a few days.

Half a year after leaving Beijing, Cao Yong's interpersonal social engagements were suppressed. There were also many royal palaces where Cao Yong came to pay his respects.

Kangxi sat on the kang, his hands retracted back into his sleeves, and said to Cao Yong: "There are countless borers in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, don't be afraid of offending others. With me supporting you, think of a way to earn money earlier, it is a great achievement. I will arrange the rest. After taking office, you must be careful not to become greedy and bring shame to your family."

Cao Yong smiled bitterly in his heart, how could he worry about it?

If you want to maintain your family’s life, even if you have income in Guangzhou, you will have enough food and drink.

It seems that Kangxi was rampant by corrupt officials. Before Cao Yong took office, he started to give him a vaccination.

After seeing you, Cao Yong came out of the West Warm Pavilion.

When he walked to the Ganqing Gate, he turned around and looked at the magnificent palace. He sighed in his heart.

Prince's House, the residence of the Sixteenth Prince.

The Sixteenth Prince had already received the letter and knew that Cao Yong was back, so he wanted to greet him in person.

He has not yet made his journey, and Cao Yong has arrived.

"Furuo..." The sixteenth prince remembered the two people mentioned "birth, old age, sickness and death" and "reincarnation in heaven" and so on, but he sighed and said, "It seems that I am a person with little blessing, which makes my son withered and his son cannot stand.

These sadness cannot be persuaded, and can only cry about the past few years.
To be continued...
